A/N: Hello there! This is something I've been working on for a while but decided to publish because there's nobody else to read several pages of word documents but me and it was getting a little ridiculous! It's my first sort of story that's not really a full story - just a series of one/two shots that were written because I have so many feelings about the show, but I hope you enjoy it anyways!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything that has to do with The Vampire Diaries or The Originals except for my OC

Arianna stood at the Falls, leaning on the wooden railing surrounding crystalline water. She sighed happily as the mist flicked her face as it had done when she were a child over 1000 years ago. The thought of her family made her heart ache, it was a wonderful time when she was surrounded by her family; now she was on the constant run, her one living family member making it his life's mission to track her down. Of course there was Elijah who was still alive, but they rarely got the opportunity to see each other. Days like this were her favorite, she occasionally visited Mystic Falls for old times' sake, but now she had decided to stay, Niklaus be damned; she wanted to enjoy the rare sunny days, the Falls, the feeling of being a teenager. She knew he would catch her sooner or later; he had been hot on her trail for a while now, so it would be soon.

"It's been a long time, little sister" a voice sneered in her ear. Well she hadn't anticipated this soon, she thought before two hands encircled her neck, snapping it.

When she awoke she was lying on a couch in an old apartment building, she groaned rubbing her neck in discomfort before resting her head back on the maroon cushions.
"Ah, I see you've woken, it took a while there Ari, you've let yourself go" Arianna rolled her eyes at her brother, refusing to meet eye contact with him, maybe if she didn't look at him he would disappear and he wouldn't kill her.

"Oh come now little one, avoiding eye contact won't make me disappear" he commented, kneeling down beside her spot on the sofa. He knew his use of "little one" would spark her anger; she hated being called that because she insisted she wasn't a child, she was the same age as Rebekah for crying out loud! She sat up looking outraged,

"Little one? Says the man with the mental capacity of a five year old" He smirked at the comment, as she realized she had let him win.

"Your words wound me Arianna, they really do" he said, feigning hurt, she glared at him before looking away, refusing to respond. He smiled widely, getting up from his spot

"So here we are Anna, I've finally found you! I must say you play quite the game of hide and seek; I almost gave up" Arianna scoffed, she knew her brother well, and knew he would never give up on anything.

"Of course you wouldn't give up Niklaus, you've disposed of all your siblings up to this point, and you wouldn't rest until the collection was complete."

"Now what makes you so sure I disposed of them?" She could see the sick grin on his face from where he stood by the window, and she knew he was trying to push her buttons. She didn't respond, shaking her head. Klaus was in front of her in a flash, looming over his sitting sister, she got up, unable to stand the feeling of being towered over; though it didn't do much for her petite stature.

"Come on love, there has to be a reason you ran for so long, surely you knew my anger would let up eventually" he said lowly

"First of all, you never stop being an angry vindictive bastard, and secondly, I rather enjoyed being away from you" She snapped. Her head hit the door before she had a second to process it; Niklaus hovered over her his forearm pressed tightly against her throat.

"Oh, surely I can't be that bad" he mocked. Arianna pushed him away, her face contorted into one of disgust.

"Leave me be Niklaus"

"Now where would be the fun in that? I've finally got my baby sister back" he laughed

"And what makes you think you've got me back" she countered, Klaus' smile fell as he advanced slowly towards his sister

"Oh dear sister, I won't be letting you out of my sight again, and if any complication arise you will be joining the rest of our sleeping siblings" Arianna glared at him, she knew Nik would only see speaking as a challenge.
"Plus, I know you've enrolled yourself in school" he added lightly. Arianna rolled her eyes at her brother once more; of course he did some lurking before he actually presented himself. She was shocked though, at how well this reunion was going; the last time they saw each other she had ran after betraying him, and he was right about to drive a dagger through her heart. And Niklaus was not the type to let things go

"What's your price Nik?" Arianna asked with a sigh, going over to the kitchen and pouring herself a scotch

"Whatever do you mean Ari?" Nik asked, faking sincerity

"We both know exactly where we left off last time we were together, and you're not currently sticking a dagger in my heart, what gives?" she explained impatiently

"Ever think that I've grown to miss my baby sister? Let bygones be bygones" he smirked

"We both know you didn't" she said, downing her drink

"I'm hurt by your lack of faith in my family values Ari" as the words left his mouth Arianna fixed her brother with a bored look

"Well if you must know, dear sister, we have some business to attend to while we are here"
